Because when shooting, you focus your vision on a pistol iron sights, so you need to see perfectly sharp on a distance less than 1m. Not sure if you can “cheat” with glasses to have better vision on that distance, if your vision is healthy
- vasco 2y agoYou must still be looking where you want to shoot otherwise you could point in any direction since "you're just looking at the iron sights". By that logic I could make any distance shot even if I couldn't see anything past 1m.
- fenring 2y agoYou look at the target, but without focusing your vision on it - it is locked to the iron sights. So the target, which is black bulls eye, is always blurry when shooting. Increasing depth of field as described in the article, would be beneficial. No idea if prescription glasses would help for someone with no vision issues.
- magicalhippo 2y agoBefore you start shooting, you perform a few practice lifts of you arm. One way is to close your eyes, raise your arm and then see where you are aiming. Adjust the position of your back foot if you're off the bulls eye. Key is to keep your wrist locked in position. Once you raise your arm for real, you don't really need to look at the target, your hand and hence pistol will be in the right spot. All you need then is to fine-adjust the sight alignment, hence why you focus entirely on the front sight post. Once you get good you just know how to stand and such, so you'll be mostly bang on right away. For this reason, if you get glasses for shooting, you'll want them made so your best focus is at the front sight.
